To estimate the force released in a crash, we can use the principle of kinetic energy. A 3,000-pound car traveling at 70 mph has a kinetic energy of approximately 1,500,000 foot-pounds. However, force during a crash depends on the duration of the impact. While it's complex to convert kinetic energy directly to force without knowing the specifics of the collision, roughly estimating, the force could be in the range of several million pounds depending on the crash dynamics and deceleration time.
